PEELED TO admit that there are two sides to
even the question Of woman's dress re-
form The Art Age records the fact that
at lave dress reform meeting in London,
at which Mrs. Oscar Wilde presided, vari-
ous forms Of Oriental dress with western
embellishments were graYely recom-
mended for the fashionable Eur0pean and
American women.
Perhaps il were not wholly unui Use for
the reformers who would abandon all
artificial supports and restraints for the
female figure to keep in mind for occa-
sional reference the fact that even the
much van lted Greek beauties when they
became ponderous wore primitive corset

Railroads. in war.

The first thing for q boy or girl to re-
member in considering war is that sol
diers must eat, It Is generally supposed
that the most important duty of soldier
is to fight; but this Is q mistake He
must eat before he can fight, and more
battles haye been lost because comman-
ders could not feed their armies than be-
cause they could not fight the enemy.
The control of the railroads is the object
Of every great campaign In modern war.
Whoever holds the railroads can move
troops and ammunition and food to the
important point more quickly than the
enemy. And everything depends upon
being stronger than your enemy at the
important point. One man is nearly as
good as another man, at least on the
average. Ten thousand men Of one nation
are nearly sure to be worth 10000 of an
other; and certainly in the great American
war, where all the men were Of the same
nation, there was little difference in the
fighting quality Of the opposing forces.
One side had more dash, the other more
endurance; one perhaps went into battle
more furiously, the other ! should say
held out more stubbornly; but In the end
the men on one side were about as good
for fighting purposes as those on the
other. Whoever had most mem there
fore, was most likely to win. But they
must be equipped and fed. To have more
men than you can feed IL worse than not
having enough. st. Nicholas.

RECENT DEATHS.

WOODWARD.-Dr. Calvin w. Wood
ward died last Thursday at his home
in Danville after protracted illness.
DIR. Woodward was native of Stur-
bridge, Mass. When a young man he
attended a medical school at WOrces-
ter, Mass, and began practice in Mil
bury, Mass, in 1947, moving to Dan
vile two years afterward, where he
has been in practice ever since. He
began life poor with somewhat limit
ed advantages as to medical education,
but he has enjoyed an extensive prac-
tice over a wide territory. AS ply
stefan he was we'll known throughout
this county. He had enjoyed good
health until last winter, and attended
to his business until about eight weeks
ago. He was married in 1876 to Susan
Carter of Worcester, Mass, and to
them were born seven children, six OF
whom are now living, Mrs. George D.
Wells of North Danville, Mrs. Joseph
Solomon of Danville, Arthur p, a
physician at Hutchinson, Mimi, Geo

How 1t Strikes a westerner.

How 1t Strikes a WeSterner.
A Western man, farmer, coming
from a region where a considerable
amount of Caledonia county funds are
invested, made his first visit to Yer
mont last month, to view the country
and to visit friends, as the personal
item has it. Being Il farmer himself
he naturally spent much of his time
among the farmers in this vicinity. He
saw this country at it's best, to be sure,
and when asked his opinion of the
farms and farmers of Vermont he spOk g
something after this fashion "The
thing that impresses me most is the
feeling of unrest among the farmers.
I rarely meet one who is not waiting
for IL chance to sell out. They plant
their crops and lay their plans not for
future but for the present, rs next year
or next month they propose to move"
This man expressed the opinion that
no farmer or business man could sue
coed who did business in this way.
Were they to work the farms of the
West with the same feeling, build
houses with the idea that they were to
live in them but few days, work with
their hands while their heads and their
hearts were over in the next state OF
territory, they would be very likely to
reap there as they too often do here,
disappointment.

Mrs. A. K. Quimby, who has been
sick for several months, is still very ill.
There was considerable sickness in
this place last week. A large number
of children were indispOsed.
The house belonging to Miss Wake
field of Boston is being repaired, under
the supervision of the owner who is
now in town.
There was special service at the
Uniyersalist church lasG Sunday, the
pastor preaching on Religious Growth"
to large congregation. Three chill
dren were baptized. Rev. L. f. Fort
ney assisted and was warmly received
by all of his former parishiOners.
The effort which has recently been
made here to have the stores close
every Wednesday evening has not
been successful. Some of the traders
who agreed to the arrangement did not
act in accordance with it and so the
others feel that they are free from the
obligation to do so.

other buildings farther up the avenue
they are entirely ont of the question,
as the property was originally owned
by Judge Paddock and decided by him
without any restrictions like those i'm
posed by Messrs. Andrews and Ban
croft and the Fairbankses. This, as
we understand it, is fair statement of
the other side.
But too much space has already been
devoted to this tempest in a teapot.
Mr.. Howe is an able and shrewd bust
ness man and knew the conditions of
his deed before he bought the property
or began operations. We fail to see
where this fuss is likely to have any
direct bearing on the post Office re-
mOval question, as Mr.. Howe will go
ahead with his building in any event,
there being ample room on his lot to
admit of erecting the building within
the limitations of his deed. Meanwhile
it is hoped that outsiders will not go
to war over this matter, at least not
until the weather gets cooler.
The latest phase of this business is
that DR.. Calderwood, located on the
north of Howe's lot, proposes to pre-
vent Mr.. Howe building up to his line
on Pearl street as the foundations are
now laid. He holds that Howe has no
right to obstruct his view and that it
is an injury to his property in the first
place, and that the Pearl street side
walk on the east side should be two or
three feet still further east, anyway.
1t really looks as though the lawyers
would get job out of this affair be-
fore it is through with.

A Rum Decision.

A Rum Decision.
The recent decision in the case of
the state VS. L. B. Goss concerning the
delivery of G. o. d. express packages
in this state is already bearing fruit.
The American express company has
issued the following order to employees
in ST. JOhnsbury, and to it's various
branch offices in the state:
"The supreme court of Vermont
have decided that the delivery of in
toxicating liquors, beer or ale within
the state, and the collection of C.. o. d.
bills constitute sale, and that agents
who have knowledge of the contents
of such packages, or who have even a
suspicion that they contain contraband
goods of the above nature, are liable
under the state law. You will here
after refuse to receive such goods when
offered at your Office, and destined to
points in the state of Vermont"
This looks like business. Let the
order be carried out to the letter, give
the courts a job every time the law is
violated, make the law equally bind
ing on the railroad companies as on
the express companies, and one source
of rum supply will be cut off.

L. T. Hazen still maintains his
fight in the New Hampshire legislature
for the Boston & Maine road, and also
claims with reason that large major
are on his side. There are indications
that the Concord road lost and that
the Boston & Maine gained ground as
a result of last weeks contest. Mean
while there is an effort being made to
compel the Concord road to disgorge
some of it's earnings that it is claimed
should have gone into the New Hamp-
shire state treasury long ago.

Important Changes.


Col. T. G.. Fletcher and one other
member of the railroad commission,
Superintendent Folsom, and bridge
builder HazeltOn of the Passumpsic di-
vision, Superintendent StOwell of the
b. & L. road and the selectmen of this
place examined the dry bridge over the
Lake road tracks near the campus yes
terday with view to building or
relocating the bridge, which stands in
need of repairs. The railroad men
stated that it was the purpose of the
new railroad management to move the
Passumpsic tracks to the east so as to
admit of the Lake road tracks comm g
in on the west, thus doing away with
the present crossing altogether and
dispensing with the services of the
flagman. AS this will require gener-
al Encouragement of affairs the bridge
will be temporarily strengthened and
later on removed to give place TO a new
structure. This will be welcome news
TO the people here who have long re-
garded the crossing as death trap.
